CUSTOM DESIGN
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE RING WAS DRAWN FROM BRUTALISTIC ARCHITECTURE, CHARACTERIZED BY ITS BOLD GEOMETRICAL FORMS AND USE OF RAW MATERIALS. THE SHAPE OF THE RING HAS BEEN CARVED WITH JAGGED, STRAIGHT CUTS TO MERGE ORGANICALLY WITH THE SURFACE TECTURE OF THE STONES - PYRITE.
DEVELOPMENT
VONTACH SOURCED THE STONE: PYRITE - Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold. THE SHAPE OF THE RING WAS HANDCRAFTED USING THE "LOST ART" OF WAX JEWELRY CARVING. THE RING WAS CAST IN 925 STERLING SILVER AND HARD POLISHED BEFORE THE STONES WERE CAREFULLY FITTED BY HAND. Finally, IT WAS ENGRAVED and GIVEN A SOFT POLISH.
PHOTOGRAPHY / EDITORIAL
THE RING WAS FEATURED IN A STILL LIFE EDITORIAL BY CREATIVE AGENCY; HOUSE OF ZAMA.
